PENMANSHIP There has quite recently been :very marked improvement in teaching this 'most important branch in the schools of -our county. A large proportion of the teachers in our ungraded schools are now Tpable of _doing as efficient work in teaching penmanship as are the teachers in high schools.,- Any' teacher who will carefully study the analysis of ,setters, and - the other instructions in writing —foUnd on the corers of most of the printed Spencerian copy books, can, in a few days, become qualified to teat! this 'branch finely, •ei-en if a poor penman. like map-drawing, soundsi and _ making of letters, history and orthoga !'• play, has been frequently learned without an instructor, and can be thus a6quired by any progressive teacher. Four things - are necessary iu learning to write : Fiist—Correet position of body, arm fingers and pen. Second—Exercises to secure easy, rapid tro,repierits. Third- - -Accurate knowledge of • the form of the letter=_. " rovartb —An abundance of careful, per- FL kUt pra er Felt teachers in either higher or lower elenitntary schools are qualified to ac cimplisli very satisfactory results, in the first and second. As has been said above, are qualified, and many skillful, in the third. AU can, and should, insist on the fourth for every pupil.. Much of the present bad penmanship lias:resiilted from ignorance of teachers . in the past. of the third. orfor4o of let ters. had the teachers been able to cz p:•tin to pupils from blackboard the ele-. inclits of letters, the height, start, width, :,11•1 shade, pupils Would. have progressed finely when required to practice, even though the teachers were poor penmen. z.; Usually pupils either were not required to prartite, or united the incorrect copies of the teacher without any suggestion as to what c instituted a corset[ letter. Such %co* could result in' but very indiffererit end utisiitistactory results. The limper feet copies of teachers are thus perpetu atel. Some excellent ,teachers advocate _the idea that pupils learn to write .most, ra- Fdly I.y Amply t,-..tri.ny orer Cif print e While this may seem plausi ble, it is not sustained by practice. • A papa may tree a lettert for ,example, l live minutes, and not discover that it sLonld be twice as high as an 1, and wfien dep}iced of his, :lode.? eopy make the copy or too nut from lack of Frac -1,%-e, but 'of kro;ttled;fe. A word of instruc tion from tefaer before the prabtiee as to the letter being two spaces high, satis f.e.tory: ie , .ults would have induced intrifi t-tst 1i aelice. • Ti,ret. lines properly combined are snEfl cient to foriii all the_sniall and capital let ters—straight line,' right mirve, and kft MEM Snore teachers make 'a t Ustake in Iceep ims, pipits several days learning these iliac elements.

At the rate of one letter per 'lay, all smalidetteis could be explained, practiced, and combined into short words lice weeks. The remaining' eight w eks of ii three-months' term would suf . lieu for capitals, words and much review. DETECTING AN IMPOSTOR While attending college, our friend An derson tilled up his vacation with school teaching, finding opportunity to keep the late summer term of the village Fchool at. Wateford. Things went on Thereation was pleasant, 'the scholars were good-natured, and the p.iy- was fair. At length, however, there 9nie a hitch. One bright, balmy morning, the scholars found written upon tire door of the school-house, in plain characters, "No SKTLF, TO DA.", The npelling was faulty, but the inform4ion conveyed was cheering, and away went the jubilant youngsters over the hills for a day's sport. o n th e following morning the teacher entered the schoc4l.ein with a rodeo tious trownupon brow. I The . notice of the previous dayl, under the cover of which more Utah half of his 'school had strayed away. bad been the work of an 'impostor.. And how was the impostor to be detected" N scrutiny of the sober, guilelezei faces hei r iire him satisfied An derson that ordinary inquiries would ef fect nothing. Gradually the frown diaap pealed; and he went on with , the usual exeicises'as though nothing had happen ed out of the Way. Towards the close of the actermx.ti se•sion, he bade the sehol s put away their books, and take their slates. Ile would exercise them in 'writ ing sentences. Several simple sentences were given out arid written down. Final ly he gave them to write : "good boys I,,rc I cir school." When this had been vir4n the teacher proceeded to ex amiae tlie•shiles. About a dozen' of the tow-headed urchins had submitted to the result of their efforts, and had had their bad spelling corrected. Next came Peter Mackwasb, a lad of twelve years, chubby and rugged. His sPelling.was excellent. It met the calla in hand exactly. He bad spelt school—" s k-u-l-s." Peter could not deny the charge thus cunningly fast ened upon, him. Ile was the impoitor. And as a reward for his caligraphic.etrort upon the school-house door, be b4d? nice new himbeit rod expended upon ltis-back.

The - hlve process of milling ,we extract, the f was examined every day during the bone, muscle, and brain, and dispose 1 whole time, so that no-mistake mit gh of it as offal. Now these statements Ibe made. - are common, and are met with both in the lecture and journalistic field; and we do not propose to question their scientific truth in auto, we de sire to present some facts which may prove suggestive to those who have never' seen anything but health in Graham flour, and disease in flour ' which has been bolted Scientists are right' in_ claiming, that many - valuable substances are incorporated in the bran. ASh is! found in it in large piqportions, and this ash on analysis yields a large i percentage oflime, magnesia, potash,.( and phosphoric acid. - The fact that these constitutuents 'are needed by the human system is not denied; but the question arises whether they are actually utilized by it when taken in to the stomach in the form , of bran? A piece of limestone or an old bone' contains the ingredients mentioned above, but we have never heard dis cussed the propriety of taking either I internally as foOd f4r the bones and nerves. The cases :of of animals are ' cited, notably those of dogs, that have been known to perish on an ex elusive diet of white bread, while they lived indefinitely on one of I bread made from i unbolted flour. It appears to us that the lqgic of scien tists is at fault in two points.: It is assumed that whatever is in the wheat will find its way into human organ- ism, and. what is true of the dog and 'other animals is also true- of man. Both of these assumptions are un founded. The disparaging compari sons which Grahamites made between bolted and unbolted flour by means of analyses showing the constituent parts of each, seemed an answerable argument until some thoughtful Ger man determined to analyze the bran after it left, the. system, 'when lo! it was almost entirely unchanged. It thus appears that the human stomach is not powerful enough to effect that 'decomposition which_ advocates of unbolted• flour assume 'takes place. It also shows that the analogy be tween man and lower order of crea tion fails to hold good in this case, as in ;many others. Physiologists have' determined the fact that the woody fibre contained in the brain acts as,an irritant on the coating of' the stomach, causing an, amount of inflammation which, instead of slim ulating digestion,' retards it. .We know precisely what 'the Grahamite would reply to the Se. objections. He would say that the fact of valuable nutritive elements being locked up in the bran is prima:facie - evidence that the bran was intended for food. Now ; valuable nutritive elements arb,con tained in a fish-bone, .but you could hardly persuade a disciple of Graham to swallow : one. We cannot see any more evidence that one was de signed. for food than the other, for the br4n is only an outside vegetable skeleton which the wheat carries for its protection. The fact of this veg-. etable - skeleton or pod i.containing elements' lof nutrition is no more than could be expected.; for what is good to make one frame- work is good ma terial for another, but it is no evidence that it will make another. In all the denunciations of fine flour,' one fact has been overlooked. It has been frequently stated that the finer the flour Lifeless nutritious it becomes. This statement is part and parcel of the longing of Grahamites for.anal ogy. According_ 10 their dicta, coarse flour is nouqshing, while tine flour is not; consequently • the finer the flour the less it partakes of-nour- ' ishing attributes. This is a - mistake: Patent flour made from middlings contains a much larger percentage of gluten than coarser brands, and is much freer from impurities. It contains every-element found in'the wheat berry, though in smaller pro, portions than' graham ficiur, a far better condition to be utilized by the human system. Much stress has been laid upon - the fact that fine flour is composed so larg4ly of starch. In reality, unbolted flour contains a larger percentage of starch than mid dlings flour, while whatever other nutritive elements the latter contain are directly available, and not locked upin indigestible bran.. , • We will not notice any of the fur ther points commonly made in be half of unbolted flour. The sophistry of most of them is apparent enough. The, whole question does ,not affect the miller in the least. He is gov erned by the law of demand, ands his flour will be whatever "'the public taste requires. It is immaterial' to him how people take their allowance of wheat. Ile will throw out his purifiers and bolting-chests as soon as the sovereign people signify their desire. Separators, bran-dusters, and smuttera will speedily follow if the public will it, and the oblging miller will grind cockleseed, smut, - or any other ingredient With his wheat which improved taste may require, includ ing lime—which one German scien tist declares should be mixed pith flour. Whatever happens, the miller will keep on grinding, but there does riot at presekt appear any general in- r - • clifultiouto • ieveti. ass* the dee doer irbleh an advanced art Of mill i* is enabling the miller to place on the market • - EVERY large dog bas- a naturally chitalrous feeling towards little chil dren - but for - faithfulness, uniform ,goo4temper, patience and beauty, nothing can excel the English - mas tiff. I have had one for two .years; he had been constantly with the chil dren, and I have never "known him to give them a cross look. I hitve seen five or auX children rollingOVer him at once, and he has accepted their very rough attentions with per fect ,good nature. When tired of their play,' he, would simply walk with a steady tread to another part of the room or grounds: Of course, any dog who is to be"the companion of children, - must be brought up With them. lle must be admitteCto the family life, not kept too much out side. Even with very small children thelnastiff is very desirable, for he seems to realize his own strength and size, and to use- special caution in approaching them. ! - - -LIGHT AND - VENTILATION.-Ill' the stalls, stables and pens of our farm stock light and ventilation are as im portant as good and regular food and' drink. Sometimes it' happens that animals closely confined.become ailing and die from .no apparent cause; but - where careful' invcstigah tion is made, the cause is. rightly at tributed to pure air. No animal can long retain health confined in a viti ated atmosphere, or in the dark. Farmers and stock men, then, should loOk to it that the quarters provided for their stock de well supplied with pure air and suffleienflight.. m OMA T-0 SOvP —Get a piede of beef off the shin, about two pounds; 'Put it on the fire with enough water to cover it; let i,t 84n -trier slowly 'for about three hours put on the fire in' a small saucepan about a cupful of rice, barley -or sago; fix M carrot, turnip, a leek-and a little green celery top; - reserve a little parsley ; put the greenS in the soup and let boil quickly for about three.quarterS of an hour; take off, strain the meat and vegetables out ; put the rice into a can of• tomatoes strained through a collander; put back on the fire and let simmer till needed; now put . the parsley in the tureen and pour the soup on.it.
